CURSED BE THE PHOSPHATE
by Sami Tlili
synopsis
On January 5, 2008, a sit-in organised by the 7 young and unemployed in the phosphate mining city of Redeyef sparked a civil disobedience movement which lasted six months. The participants claimed their right to wealth, dignity and justice. Four years later, what remained? Open wounds, wounded souls, broken destinies. More importantly, as this film depicts with eminent grace: pride and dignity.
